Easy Street: Yes, you can have wood cabinets in your outdoor kitchen, says this manufacturer. The company’s products feature a base made from Perma Panel, a specially engineered polymer material that makes the cabinets virtually indestructible by harsh weather. And the Perma Panel cleans up quickly and easily with a garden hose and scrub brush. It is shown here in bamboo. Teak and cypress are also available. Atlantis Outdoor Kitchens. 877-223-4537.
